Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect in the second assassination attempt against former President Trump, appeared in court on Monday where he was charged with federal gun crimes. During the court proceedings, Routh was observed laughing, raising concerns about his demeanor and mental state.
Routh's arrest came after he was caught attempting to lie in ambush at the Trump International golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. A vigilant Secret Service agent noticed Routh's AK-47-style rifle protruding through a fence, prompting agents to take action and open fire.
